Neither the Sun Devils nor the Wildcats are going to play in a bowl game in 2022, making Friday night in Tucson the last football game of the year for both teams.

To some, the stakes couldn’t be lower, but for each fanbase, the stakes could hardly be higher.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by ‘Locked On Sun Devils’ host Richie Bradshaw to talk about this year’s ‘Duel in the Desert.’

Arizona has been more impressive overall this year, but they are just a 4-point favorite over ASU for a reason.

How can the Sun Devils pull the upset and end the year with the same win total as the Wildcats?

The other Friday night game could have significant ramifications with regard to the Pac-12 Championship Game, even tho neither UCLA nor Cal will be playing in Las Vegas this year.

The Bruins seem bound to avoid a third straight loss, but how could Cal pull the upset at home?
